We had a hot issue with our shore power chord and 50 amp to 30 amp Y adapter. So much resistance had built up that the power chord could have caused a fire. We replaced both 30 amp shore power cords and the Y adapter. There’s lots of sea grass here and ...

We went from low winds to 40 knot gusts during our journey to the Florida Keys. Leaving Port Canaveral with our new stack pack for the mainsail, we cruised to Ft. Pierce inlet with almost no wind. Stopped for the night at a nice marina where we met a frien...

We are on our way to the Florida Keys soon. Celebrated by cooking some delicious steaks. In preparation, we did some DIY and took out the dinghy. Steve did some chalking to fix a leak down below. Sometimes it is really hard to determine the source of a le...

Hey, we entered a wet T-shirt contest. Just kidding, we did have some water fun rinsing Isabella's hull. Being inspired by having our fuel tank so clean, we decided to clean our water tank. It went surprisingly well, even with 28 nuts to remove and reassem...

We ended up restoring our refrigerator to its former glory. New glides made all of the difference. Karen got a little too excited. Our VIP head countertop was really dated. For better or worse we applied a one part epoxy paint to it. It turned out OK. We'l...

This time on Sailing Intermission Steve finishes strengthening the davits or should we say sheerlegs. We traveled to Dallas for some face-to-face business. Staying two nights at the circa 1922 Magnolia Hotel gave us enough time to visit our old dancing cl...

Hello, everyone! This time on Sailing Intermission we fire up our Force 10 and Steve shows off his cooking expertise, haha. Karen begins charting a course for the Annapolis trip and shows off her new bikinis. Of course, you know…there’s dancing. Donâ...

This time our adventure was a little wet. We spent a lot of time cranking up the generator for the first time. It should have been done before but we found out the generator strainer was leaking. The strainer to the rear AC was dirty and needed cleaning. ...

Our life on a sailboat. Fix, fix, fix, haha. We corrected the fact that our water pump was cycling too much. Spruced up the teak toe rail. During a hot and humid day our A/C kept throwing an error. Turns out we had to replace the water pump. We're getting...
